The MCBA Prize 2011

Be a part of our world-wide celebration of book arts--with over $8,000 in awards!

The MCBA Prize is the first honor in the United States to recognize book art from across the field and around the world. Five finalists will be selected to each receive a $500 cash award, and up to $750 travel and lodging stipend to be honored at a gala celebration at MCBA's Book Art Biennial. From these five finalists, the jury will select the MCBA Prize winner and award them an additional $2,000 (total $2,500).

All artists who use the book format are eligible, and all techniques and methods--from fine press works to inexpensive multiples, to installation or sculptural book work -- will be considered. Work must have been completed since August 1, 2009. Complete eligibility guidelines are available on MCBA's website.
